This isn't what I would call a beginner toy. It is more of a transition toy really, if you are graduating up from smaller anal beads to full on anal penetration. I wasn't disappointed by this toy, but I often have to use something else to warm up first, which seems slightly counter productive.

This item is very worth it because it starts a person out slowly with the small beads at the top. Once a person gets more advanced with anal play, they have the beads that the bottom of the toy. This is a toy that can be used all the time during solo or even couple's anal play.

I'm a beginner when it comes to anal play, and I had a difficult time using this toy, so I wouldn't call it beginner friendly. If you are looking for a toy with a mild vibration that you have to insert fully and leave in place, you might like this toy. The fact that the vibrator is removable is the best part about this toy. The little vibrator is very versatile, and in the end, I had much more fun using it on its own than I ever did using it inside the jelly sleeve it goes with.

The Spectra Gel Beaded Anal Vibrator was a pain to use, but in the end, it delivered amazing results when used in combination with other toys. It was quite a hassle, however, and I wouldn't choose this toy over others because of that. For the price, it might be worth it though.
